4 Prayers Every Wife Should Pray

DAY 3 OF 4

Prayer #3: 

Appeal to God in prayer to help your husband succeed in his work.

God wired people to achieve and to labor to become successful in their work. While this applies to both genders, a husband often feels this more innately due to the pressures to provide for the home. Men deeply long to succeed in their work; in fact, if a man continues to fail in his work, he will probably struggle in every other area of his life, especially at home. Therefore, help him succeed by appealing to heaven for supernatural help in his work and him ask these kinds of questions from time to time: 

· What is the biggest breakthrough you wish you could have this week?
· What do you wish to see in teammates or people you may manage by way of work ethic and character, and how can these improve?
· What do you need to do in order to gain greater recognition or a promotion?

Feel free to expand on these questions. Ask your husband questions that will reveal the specific ways you can appeal to God on his behalf. Don’t just ask God to “please help my husband at work.” Anyone could pray in that general way, but only you have the heart to really uncover what you want to ask God to do for your husband that would make him dance and shout for joy, and then to pray specifically for those things. 

Do you know the specifics in his work or career that would mean the world to your husband if they came true this year? This month? This week? Sadly, very few women have any idea about their husband’s work life except when he’s late. Again. As you encourage his growth and success at work, the blessing will boomerang to your home as well.
